Introduction
Solid recovered fuels (SRF's) are a major source of renewable
energy. European Standards are needed for production, trade and use
of solid recovered fuels. For sampling and sample preparation of
solid recovered fuels the following European Standards can be
used:
EN 15442, Solid recovered fuels — Methods for sampling;
EN 15443, Solid recovered fuels — Methods for the preparation of
the laboratory sample.
These European Standards can be used by production and trading of
solid recovered fuels. They are also useful for buyers of solid
recovered fuels, regulators, controllers and laboratories.
Figure 1 shows the links between the essential elements of a
testing program.
The sample preparation technique adopted depends on a combination
of different characteristics of the material and circumstances
encountered at the sampling location. The determining factors
are:
the type of solid recovered fuel;
the physical behaviour of the specific solid recovered fuel;
the (expected) degree of heterogeneity (e.g. monostreams, mixed
fuels, blended fuels).
For the sample preparation of solid biofuels prEN 14780 is
available [1]. For the characterization of waste EN 15002 is
available [2].

This European Standard specifies methods for reducing combined
samples to laboratory samples and laboratory samples to sub-samples
and general analysis samples.
The methods described in this European Standard may be used for
sample preparation, for example, when the samples are to be tested
for bulk density, biomass determination, durability, particle size
distribution, moisture content, ash content, ash melting behaviour,
calorific value, chemical composition, and impurities. The methods
are not intended to be applied to the very large samples required
for the testing of bridging properties.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given
in EN 15357:2011 and the following apply.
3.1 combined sample sample consisting of all the increments taken
from a lot or a sub-lot
NOTE The increments can be reduced by division before being added
to the combined sample.
3.2 general analysis sample sub-sample of a laboratory sample
having a nominal top size of 1 mm or less and used for a number of
chemical and physical analyses
3.3 increment portion of solid recovered fuel extracted in a single
operation of the sampling device
1) To be published.

3.4 laboratory sample sample sent to or received by the
laboratory
NOTE 1 When the laboratory sample is further prepared (reduced) by
subdividing, mixing, grinding, or by combinations of these
operations, the result is the test sample. When no preparation of
the laboratory sample is required, the laboratory sample is the
test sample. A test portion is removed from the test sample for the
performance of the test or for analysis.
NOTE 2 The laboratory sample is the final sample from the point of
view of sample collection but it is the initial sample from the
point of view of the laboratory.
NOTE 3 Several laboratory samples may be prepared and sent to
different laboratories or to the same laboratory for different
purposes. When sent to the same laboratory, the set is generally
considered as a single laboratory sample and is documented as a
single sample.

determined
3.6 moisture analysis sample sample taken specifically for the
purpose of determining total moisture
3.7 nominal top size d95 aperture size of the sieve used in EN

5 Principles of correct sample preparation
The main purpose of sample preparation is that a sample is reduced
to one or more test portions that are in general smaller than the
original sample. The main principle for sample preparation is that
the composition of the sample as taken on site shall not be changed
during each step of the sample preparation and that possible
requirements of the analysis methods to be performed are obeyed.
Each sub-sample shall be representative for the original sample. To
reach this goal every particle in the sample before sample
preparation shall have an equal probability of being included in
the sub-sample retained after sample preparation. Also the loss of
moisture and other volatile components shall be minimised if these
components are analysed or influence the properties to be
analysed.
Two basic methods are used during the sample preparation. These
methods are:
sample division;
particle size reduction of the sample.
For granular materials generally the principle of the third-power
law is accepted and shall be respected at each sample division
step. The equation for this third power law is shown in Equation
(1):
3 95 dαm ×> (1)
where
m is the mass retained after each sample division step in g;
d95 is the nominal top size in mm;
α is a constant over the whole sample preparation procedure for a
particular material in g/mm3.
The value and unit of constant α is fixed by the nominal particle
size, d95, and the sample size, m, of the sample before sample
preparation.
EXAMPLE
A sample of 10 kg of SRF fluff has d95 of 50 mm. For the analysis
is a test portion of 5 g required.
The third power law results in α = 10 000 g divided by 50 mm to the
third power. The value of α is now 0,08 g/mm3. Using this value in
Equation (1) for a reduced sample size results in a nominal top
size for the particles in the test portion of 3,97 mm (cube root of
5,0 g divided by 0,08 g/mm3). Below in the table are shown the
figures.
m in g
αααα In g/mm3
d95 in mm
10 000 0,08 50 5 0,08 3,97
Table 1 shows the resulting reduction factors for the minimum
(sub-)sample size, if a certain reduction of the nominal top size
is chosen and the third-power law is respected. The reduction
factor of the nominal top size can be calculated by dividing the
current nominal top size by the proposed nominal top size after
size reduction.
SIST EN 15443:2011
10
Table 2 shows the resulting reduction factors for the minimum
nominal top size, if a certain reduction of the (sub-)sample size
is chosen and the third-power law is respected. The reduction
factor of the minimum (sub-)sample size can be calculated by
dividing the current minimum (sub-)sample size by the proposed
minimum (sub-)sample top size after size reduction.
Equation (1) can be used to calculate the exact values for each
specific situation.

5,8 20 8 000 500 7,9 30 27 000 1 000 10,0
For SRF, however, many materials turn out to be far from granular.
For example in fluff the particles turn out to be predominantly
flat. Therefore, for solid recovered fuels, a correction can made
for non-granular materials.
Care is needed to avoid loss of fine particles and volatile
components such as moisture and mercury during milling and other
operations.
If a sub-sample is required for the determination of moisture
content, then the sample preparation shall be carried out by a
procedure that does not conflict with the requirements of CEN/TS
15414-1, CEN/TS 15414-2 or EN 15414-3. It is recommended that, if
moisture content of the material (as sampled) is to be determined,
a separate moisture analysis sample is taken (as there is a risk of
reducing the moisture content by sample preparation
operations).
If a sub-sample is required for the determination of mercury
content, then the sample preparation shall be carried out by a
procedure that does not conflict with the requirements of EN 15297.
It is recommended that, if mercury content of the material (as
sampled) is to be determined, a separate mercury analysis sample is
taken (as there is a risk of reducing the mercury content by sample
preparation operations).
For materials that have to be examined for moisture and mercury
content, care shall be taken for any significant heat build-up and
risk of loss of moisture and mercury.
